gonna be real this book was hard to get through. it was kinda fun in the beginning and then it wasnt anymore and it just felt like a chore i need to finish so i put it down and went back to it later. but every time i went back it just still felt like a chore. but i had to return the book to my friend bc i had been keeping it hostage for so long so i finished it bc he really likes the book and i didnt want to say i didnt finish it/like it 😭. Other than that the ending was nice this book is just really slow and it sometimes hard to here about how women are treated in it.
